I’ve been trying to setup Tdarr to transcode using my AMD integrated GPU instead of my CPU, but all I’m finding online is people using nvidia cards…well, I don’t have one of those, but I have an AMD CPU with integrated gpu, so I wanted to use that, but apparently that’s extremely uncommon and I can’t find any working solutions.
Edit: I’m running Tdarr in a docker container on my OMV media server.
Edit 2: I’ve gotten it working, but the compression is nonexisting. A h264 -> h265 transcode increases file size by ~5%.
Needed to add my Tdarr container to the render group and pass through the dev/dri/renderD128 folder.
Besides maybe confusing the codecs, hardware encoders, especially the AMD ones, are always less space efficient than software encoders.
If you want to convert video for long-term storage, please use a software encoder.
Fair enough, I just saw so many using GPUs and how much faster it was and assumed it was the same size-wise with the files. I’m getting ~40fps with my CPU, so it’s going to take forever to do all of it.
